Ferries
Ferries across the Greek islands — and beyond.
Inter-island hops between the Cyclades, mainland crossings to and from Piraeus, and vehicle ferries when you're bringing the car — plus honest local advice on which sailings thin out once the season turns. We book it all from the desk in Heraklion.
01 — How we help
From island hops to the long mainland run.
Schedules shift with the season and the weather. We read the timetables daily and book the crossing that actually connects.
Inter-island & mainland
Cyclades hops, the long overnight from Piraeus, and connections onward to the Dodecanese — ticketed across all the major operators in one place.
Vehicle ferries
Bringing the car, a camper or a motorbike? We reserve vehicle space early — it sells out long before foot-passenger seats on the popular runs.
Season & timing advice
Many fast routes only run April to October, and frequencies drop sharply off-season. We tell you what's realistic before you commit to dates.
02 — Sample routes
A few crossings travellers ask us for.
Indicative routes to show what's possible from Crete and the mainland — not a live timetable.
| Route | Operator | Season | Crossing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heraklion → Santorini | Seajets | Apr–Oct | ~2 hr |
| Piraeus → Heraklion | Minoan / ANEK | Year-round | ~9 hr overnight |
| Heraklion → Mykonos | Seajets | Seasonal | ~4.5 hr |
| Rethymno → Santorini | Seajets | Summer | ~3 hr |
| Crete → Cyclades hops | Various high-speed | Apr–Oct | 1–5 hr per leg |
| Heraklion → Rhodes | Aegean / Dodekanisos | Seasonal | ~10 hr via Cyclades |
These times and seasons are indicative and change year to year — pop into the desk and we'll confirm the current sailings and fares for your dates.
03 — Bringing the car
Plan the vehicle deck before the season fills.
Greek summers reward a slow, island-to-island route — but vehicle space is the first thing to go, and a missed connection on a quiet line can cost you a day. We map your sailings as a single chain, hold car space ahead of the rush, and keep a sensible buffer between legs.
Tell us your islands and your dates and we'll tell you what's actually achievable — including which crossings only run in high season and where an overnight saves you a night's accommodation.
